The question doesn't seem to make sense. You are the one who endures stuff; cognitive functions don't endure anything.

The situation with the perfume seems like it's about raw physical sensation, which is not the same thing as Se.

But it is true that physical situations can cause us to have an inferior flare up that Naomi Quenck calls "Beside Ourselves".
The tertiary can flare up too.

Interesting. I have her book and the INTJ inferior triggers listed are Dealing with details, Unexpected Events, and Excessive extraverting. I didn't interpret any of those as having anything in particular to do with physical situations.

Well, I met my limit today.
One co-worker came in and the smell made it over to my cubicle 30 feet away.
So I went over to her and said, "By some cruel twist of nature, I can smell your perfume all the way at my desk."
Then I realized she had her fan on, so that's what propelled it.
She denied it was perfume and said it was hair product. I knew right then she was done trying.
I couldn't take it any more. I began fuming on the inside.
I wrote an email to my supervisor telling him that my co-workers, though they had tried to accommodate me, were unsuccessful and I just couldn't take the "torture" any more.
I "respectfully requested" to be moved someplace else.
Three and a half hours later, I asked him if he got my email and he said he forwarded it to his supervisor.
I'm terrified they'll move me to a different building.

So there. We have discovered how much sensory torture I can take.

You are right.
I got mixed up and misspoke.
All the different types can have flare ups and become "beside themselves" when they are over-tired or over-stressed.
Apparently how much of strong smells a person can stand doesn't have anything to do with cognitive functions, though I thought it did.
